  • Problem 3 for the type-A network service, related data of the network service needs to be transmitted through an established data channel. It is not difficult to understand that access to the network service can be controlled by controlling a data channel of the network service.

Allowed areas of PDU sessions of different public network services may be different. Allowed areas of PDU sessions of different non-public network services may be different.
  • Problem 4 for the type-B network service, a current access network of the terminal needs to control whether the terminal accesses a service of another network.

A service of another network that is accessed by the terminal is unclear.
  • a service area of the non-public network may not be all service ranges of a public network that supports the non-public network.
  • a PDU session of the non-public network service may need to be released and suspended.
